Marie-Antoinette

Marie Louise Adelaide Boizot after Louis-Simon Boizot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman's upper body, displayed in profile from the chest up. The woman is posed elegantly, looking to the right with delicate facial features, including a straight nose and a serene expression. Her hair is styled elaborately in curls with a ribbon-like accessory. She wears a patterned garment with a ruffled neckline. The portrait is set in an ornate oval frame adorned with floral garlands and bows. Below the portrait, a label reads "Marie Antoinette d'Autriche Reine de France." The background features a textured pattern.
